Heheheh, nice. Some clipping and camera issues, but love how it feels, otherwise. Great work!
I like your interpretation of the theme. Super neat graphics, gameplay is somewhat repetative, but still ok. A little bit of music in background also would be good
This was great! Remind me never to betray a monitor.
super fun and well polished!
Brilliant, game has a lot of fun. But aiming is difficult a bit.
Wow. All that polished content in three days. Excellent.
Just one minor critique: I would have liked to destroy all those flatscreens. I know, they are not responsible for my own demise, the people in suits are, but nonetheless, they, too, should not remain unscathed. ;)
Perfect game, my favorite so far amongst all the LD entries. Polished, fun! I loved it. I was so impressed to see you did this by yourself. You sir have a lot of talent. Kudos!
Great game, overall! Nice graphics and, of course - a creative use of staplers.
Nice one, i love the idea^^.
Awesome game! Lacks some music, but other than that, a lot of fun!
Great entry. I'm worried I can give you more than one star on Theme because you are using a moving camera that, IMO, is not allowed fro that jam.
@Pulsartronic I tried to use the theme in an indirect way, not as a technical limitation. The game is based indeed "on One Screen"!
humor hype! :D
Awesome game. I loved the concept, loved the setting. Innovative take, loved third person. This is the first of the games in the Jam where I had to sit through a commercial, that I felt was worth the wait. My favorite weapon was stapler. I loved how adding the jump from head to head, really adds to the game. I wish the ending was a bit more, maybe at least escaping the office. The play on the theme was awesome! LOL I would have liked interacting with environment, maybe knocking stuff over to slow enemies. Great, polished game in so short a time.
It's hilarious ! Well done.
A really great quality game. Love how the theme was incorporated! I had the most fun using the people who had staplers as their weapons :D
Best Game Ever ! (there is a wall at the end, did I miss something ?)
Very nice and funny entry! I really like the concept and it's presentation and how the employees look at you the whole time!
I think that camera should be the responsible for player's rotation, using the WASD keys just for strafing and walking.
I think that the "switching body" mechanic is very cool but should be restricted a bit, because at this stage, by switching over and over you are pretty much invincible :D Of course it gets you to the endgame more slowly, but still!
Great job indeed, looking forward to see a PostDare version!
@Maurogik Thanks! There had to be the exit door, but I did not have time to put it!
The gameplay is really fun and the graphics are great. Aiming is a bit difficult and I think you should be punished for jumping from person to person too quickly, but I had a lot of fun playing it! Also, the stapler is OP as hell.
Great game liked your take on the theme even if it doesn't fit. very good graphics.
Very cool concept! I liked the graphics as well. Unfortunately I wasn't able to play a lot of it because WASD or arrow keys to move didn't work - the character just kept moving in a direction that related to the camera but it was difficult to see what he was doing.
Wow! Excellent job with all the content! The controls felt a little slow, but I loved the concept. ONE SCREEN TO RULE THEM ALL.
I had a good laugh, it works pretty well, love the switching body mechanic ! Great job man !
This one is LOL, and really well done. Nice graphics, funny game mechanics. Congrats!
Awesome game. Just got to that wall in the end and thought "What now?" and then I remembered I had some baddies left behind, so I just went for the slaughter.
Very nice concept! I like how you've interpreted the theme! Love the Audio and graphics! gameplay is solid! Awesome job
Awesome game, it was so fun, I love it!
And the graphics are really good.
Great job! :D
Amazing game
Nice idea. I liked the graphics.
This was pretty epic. The stapler-guy was OP :D Awesome graphics. Sick twisted game. Loved it!
Interesting approach on the theme!, ahaha I love the character, and the 3d models the environment is soo nice really gives it an office vibe. Very polished game!
Very cool idea, but not really respecting the theme
Used a stapler to kill co-workers. 5/5.
Awesome idea, epic animations and really neat graphics. Your interpretation of the theme doesn't seem valid for me, but anyway, great game!
Nice game! Feels super polished and nice, but it gets sorta repetitive, I think it's the amount of time you spend just clicking. Great work overall though! :)
A hilarious concept, and the end result looks brilliant.
I hope you develop this further!
Awesome work for such a short period of time!
I love switching bodies.
This Game is Awesome. I want More from you
Nice implementation of the theme. Well done.
-C
hahaha very good. interesting interpretation of the theme like the different weapon types and its all around great. best smacking sound. the body switching is a little OP
very amusing, I like this jokes
Probably the most polished entry I have played yet. The graphics are simple and sweet, the ambient sounds were convincing, the gameplay was a little slow-paced but wonderful and hilarious! Good jorb!
Thank god we have flat screens now and this can't happen anymore, right? RIGHT?
I don't have to tell you that this is probably one of the best entries. I managed to shoot staples trough a wall, but who can point on things like that in a 72 hour game?
I liked the subtle but very provocative message about recycling. :P
Well done, i liked the stapler gun haha :)
Wish the character moved faster
Awesome stuff! Loved it! Would be awesome if you made post-compo version!
Silly fun with just enough depth to not be 100% mindless :D Great job. I encountered a bug at the end where I couldn't complete because one of the guys lost his bounding box and became invincible/stationary. (Played on OSX Yosemite in Safari.)

lol nice concept. its a fun game overall
Awesome little game. A stapler never felt so powerful :)
This is just SO COOL :D
Granted, my first thought was: "Oh man, as if working in a cubicle all day wasn't bad enough, now we have to worry about outdated technology killing us?" :D
Heh. This game is one of the best at this LD. Nicely done! All 5!
Beautiful and funnnyyyyyy ... ! :)
Great work on the animation and the polish.
Impressive entry !
Hahahahah this game is awesome! Great job!
Good one :). My only criticism is that the character moves I little too slow. I think the game would benefit from being faster.
Wow. Creative game! Very polished, very fun! What a humor!
Hahaha, that is an original and interesting idea! I like the concept of the game, and gameplay is quite fun! The graphics are very polished too. I found it a little too easy though, and controls could be improved.
Old good unltra violence. Cute graphics, fun idea. So sad that there no final expirience (boss, for example). Without it game feels not holistically. Also I can suggest to change A and D controls for strafe and rotate avatar with camera rotation. This is common and comfortable way for moving in games this genre.
Haha, nice. I wish you could back away from the hordes of office employees while blasting them with staples, but yeah you did great!
haha, cooool :p
always wanted to do that xD
AWESOME! For me 100%, you grasped it right, the presentation is cool, congratulations!
HAHAHAHAHA thats hilarious
nice sense of humor and its quite polished overall ^^
pd: the stapler guy is so op
I think I reached a dead end... ah I see you didn't have time.
Great use of the theme. Graphics are charming as well.
The body-swapping can be repeated too quickly. Maybe if it only worked on weakened enemies it would be balanced... though if the game is supposed to make me feel like an unstoppable screen of death it succeeded. Good job.
Laughed from start to end, perfect interpretation of the theme :D
You hit the mood of a buro-box-buro very good. The controls aren't so good imo, i struggled often with the rotation of the hero. If i move the mouse the camera if following from behind but if walk backward it doesn't change. i would have liked a camera thats fixed on the back of the head. Well you ran out of time but something like "You did you job well" or something after killing all would be cool. Something that's saying it's over.
Overall a funny game with a well hit mood
excelent, 5 stars :D
WOW! This is my favourite entry! Keep going with it!
I love the usage of stapler! Would love to see more office weapon :D I like how you handled with small amount of time, , like square heads that still looks great etc. So nice! It would be helpfull to have possibility to run! I feel so relaxed playing it after work.
best game ever
This was great! Wish it had some music, a proper ending and an invert mouse option. But I totally understand that this already took a lot of work to finish in 72 hours.
Clever and funny idea. The graphics and audio really sold the absurdity of it all. great job!
Fun and beautiful game! I had some hard time with control though, making it hard to aime with the stapler. Anyway, original use of the theme!
Fun premise and I love the switching dudes mechanic. Could take it a lot of places with more enemy types. Good stuff!
Innovative, nice graphics, but the gameplay is a little bit repetitive and easy.
Very nice job!
This game was pretty creative and original. It was definitely fun to play with all the different types of attacks and the jumping from human to human mechanic! Great job!
The game is very simplistic, of course, but it's executed well. The art style was remarkably effective and there are a lot of nice touches like the office worker's expressions. Well done!
Innovative use of the theme! Fun art style and really polished overall, impressive given the time constraints.
I think you cheated a little with the theme (the "entire game") but I like that. I wish I had thought outside the screen! A very good game!
Reminds me a little of space station silicon valley for the N64. If you've never played it you should! This game was amazing. My favorite of LD so far. The first possession I literally laughed out loud and got really excited!
Really funny game! Nice graphics as well! I Included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/08ofw2klihI
It's a shame that you don't have time to make the end of the game. For the rest, an excellent and very funny game. Enjoyed a lot!
Great graphics and gameplay! A bit slow but funny :D Staplers look too powerful, but they are great to play. Much more effective than simply slapping. Nice work!
Loved this. Great fun, nice idea, well implemented. Excellent work!
Amazing and funny game! Maybe a bit slow sometimes, but great. The switching of bodies is exploitable, you can just stand still and change bodies and everyone will die.
Too bad you didn't have time for an end screen or something.
Great game!! Really entertaining, hope to see more updates! :)
Fantastic! One of the funniest games I've ever played, jam or otherwise. The expressions of the office workers is golden. Perfect use of the theme too.
Haha very funny approach. I see similarities to "Hatred" ^^ I really liked the throwing-screen-head attack. With music and different goals it would make a great game. Well done :)
awesome ! your aproach of the theme is funny, and this idea is super fun. the game has acceptable graphics and the gameplay is simple and i had a fun time playing it.great job
Haha, this is so funny! Stapler = OP
Pretty fun xD
Best entry so far. Really impressed that you did this all by yourself :O
Psst - You are featured in today's Ludum Dare to Believe! Check it out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTZt-x7a0CQ
Dude! Fantastic concept, well executed, immaculately polished, the only real problem is that it doesn't really have much game in it - as in if you just screen hop all the time you're basically invincible. No challenge... But that can be easily fixed, right? RIGHT?? *whips out staple gun*
Haha, great. Hilarious game, loved the parasite-esque feel of it. The soundscapes were pretty nice, but kind of repetitive. The graphical style was pretty cool. The pacing was a little slow, but I guess that's kind of how business works. Some of the AI was a little bit slow too - if someone sees someone with a monitor head over the other side of the room, they continue to stare blankly into space until you're a bit closer.
Maybe a little too easy, I cleared it first try, and there weren't any deviations in path.
This is awesome! Hilarious gory fun. The concept is great, the graphics fit very well. In my opinion, your interpretation of the theme is completely appropriate! My one problem is that the controls somehow don't seem to work that well...I often felt like I was fighting them and trying to aim my character in the right direction. Maybe I'm too used to DOOM and such...Great job, though!
I like the crazy idea!
Really fun, a serial killer screen :). The gameplay is cool, I like the graphics. Sad there is not any end. Also the character is a bit slow. Congrats !
Hilarious entry, well done. The stapler is by far my favourite idea for a shooting weapon ever. :)
Great detail level! I had much fun playing it. It wasn't too easy. You can add more things, like picking up different weapons, but I have some suggestions aside from new features: 1) Make people start attack you when you shoot them from a large distance. 2) Make the player keep the health of previous owner of a body (If you damage someone and posses him, you should have less health) 3) Make jumping target a person in the direction you're facing.
Nice concept, but it did get borign after a bit. Neat game!
Really great concept! I hope that this evolves into a full game some day :D
Hahahahaha this game is hilarious :D
I feel like I HAVE TO link this music video if you don't already know about it, "Slagsmålsklubben - Snälla TV PLZ": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3C_DoHe2qw Having that music video on while playing makes the game even better :'D
love it. very impressive creating all from scratch
I made a gameplay video of this game so now I have to spammity spam it everywhere!

Great entry. Very nice swinging animation and i liked the controls. The head-jump-to-another-char is a very cool idea. Started to think that this mechanism could bring very much variety for a game. Jumping could mean you control a vehicle or an animal. Of course this would mean adding tons of content... but the idea is worth developing further.
Liked a lot.
the controls are a bit awkward (mostly because the mouse control the camera but not the way you are facing i guess) and there is no proper ending, which I find a bit disappointing. I went back to check I hadn't missed someone, but no...
On the other end it's a pretty refreshing use of the theme and the graphics and audio are top-notch. Good job!
Really fun idea, found killing office workers and taking over their bodies quite challenging. I wish the aiming was done with the mouse instead of the player's rotation, that would make controlling and moving much more easier to manage.
Also did reach a point where I couldn't continue, and one of the enemies just froze in place with no collision.
